What is a DNV half-height container?
La famille DNV demi-hauteur associe un format bas à une logique offshore. Elle répond aux charges denses qui doivent être manutentionnées avec un niveau de sécurité dédié.
DNV 2.7-1 encadre les unités offshore levées en mer. Le format demi-hauteur facilite certains chargements tout en conservant les exigences documentaires.
Le choix dépend du poids, des points d’appui, du levage et des documents requis. Ces éléments doivent être confirmés avant devis.

What is a new 20ft Half-Height Offshore DNV shipping container?
This container is a half-height maritime box, certified for offshore operations. "Half-Height" means the exterior height is reduced to 1.280 m. "Offshore DNV" means it is certified DNV 2.7-1, the mandatory standard for handling at sea. The "first-trip" designation means it is a new unit, straight from the factory after a single positioning journey.

The 20 ft half-height format provides top access for crane loading and unloading of tools, chains and maintenance equipment. The Corten steel container has a reinforced frame, anti-slip pads underneath and a steel floor.
The forged steel lifting rings are DNV 2.7-1 compliant, and a standardized spreader bar, the lifting beam that distributes the load across the four corners, is included for transfer by certified platform crane.
Check the loaded dimensions
Record the dimensions and mass of the largest item, including its support and packaging. Specify the handling equipment and access needed to load, unload and work on the contents.

Use the internal dimensions to plan the load or equipment layout. Allow the clearances needed for movement, handling and maintenance for your intended use.
Mass and load distribution
Check total mass, point loads, load distribution and handling equipment compatibility. Available volume does not determine permissible load: reference masses are listed in the technical specifications.

Read the dimensions guideLe choix de l’état
Premier voyage ou occasion ?
L’aspect attendu, l’usage et le budget orientent le choix. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé avant de vous décider.
Premier voyage : quel état ?
Un conteneur premier voyage est une unité récemment fabriquée qui a effectué un trajet maritime de positionnement. Son aspect est généralement proche du neuf, mais de petites marques de transport ou de manutention restent possibles.
C’est une option à privilégier pour une installation visible, un aménagement soigné ou un projet où l’état initial compte particulièrement. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé.
Occasion : pour quels usages ?
Un conteneur d’occasion a déjà servi au transport maritime. Les bosses, les reprises de peinture, la corrosion et les réparations varient d’une unité à l’autre : l’appellation seule ne décrit pas son état réel.
Pour le stockage, le chantier ou un usage technique, une occasion contrôlée peut répondre au besoin avec un budget initial plus contenu. Distinguez les traces d’usage acceptables des défauts qui affectent la structure, la fermeture des portes ou l’étanchéité.
Que vérifier avant l’achat ?
- Structure : déformations importantes, trous, corrosion perforante, état du châssis et des coins ISO.
- Portes et joints : ouverture, fermeture, fonctionnement des barres de verrouillage et continuité des joints.
- Plancher et étanchéité : zones molles, réparations inadaptées et entrées de lumière anormales, hors ventilation prévue.
Pour un transport maritime international, faites aussi confirmer la validité CSC et l’aptitude de l’unité au transport prévu. La plaque ne remplace pas l’examen du conteneur.
Budget : que faut-il comparer ?
À format comparable, l’occasion est généralement moins chère à l’achat. Vérifiez aussi ce que le devis inclut : le conteneur, le transport et le déchargement sur votre site.
À format identique, les dimensions nominales restent les mêmes ; la tare et la charge utile se vérifient sur les plaques. Pour un frigorifique, un Open Side ou un conteneur équipé, contrôlez aussi les équipements décisifs pour votre usage : groupe froid, portes ou installations.
In detail
Why a DNV 2.7-1 certified container?
The DNV 2.7-1 standard, now designated DNVGL-ST-E271, is issued by Det Norske Veritas, the Norwegian maritime certification body. Without it, operators such as TotalEnergies, Equinor, Shell, or wind-farm operators refuse to bring anything on board by a platform or supply vessel crane.
Read more
The standard requires a battery of regulatory tests: cyclic fatigue of the lifting rings, free fall from 1.2 m onto a hard surface, unbalanced lifting, side-impact resistance. All of them simulate handling stresses in rough seas. The European EN 12079 standard validates the offshore complement.
On the half-height container, top access facilitates placing and removing equipment by crane. Its low profile also reduces the height occupied on deck.
